Figsbury Ring is a univallate Iron Age hillfort situated near Salisbury in Wiltshire, England. The monument comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an oval area of approximately 11 acres, positioned on high ground commanding views across the surrounding landscape. Archaeological evidence and typological analysis place its construction and primary use within the Iron Age, likely between the fifth and first centuries BC, when such hillforts served as territorial centres, refuges, and places of elite residence across southern Britain. The site remains substantially preserved, with its earthwork defences clearly visible and forming one of the significant Iron Age monuments in the Chalk Downs region of Wiltshire.
